The barbell gym Portsmouth was missing

Most Portsmouth gyms give you machines and a crowded free-weight corner. Grizzly gives you a real strength facility: full Olympic platforms, bumper plates, quality barbells, racks, and the space to actually train — no waiting, no dropping-weights side-eye.

Open gym is for lifters who know what they want to do and want the right room to do it in. And because owner and head coach Stanislav Babenko or another coach is usually on the floor, you're never far from a helpful cue or a spot when you need one.
